Nutters of Savile Row x Peter Werth: LC:M AW13

Nutters of Savile Row x Peter Werth

Flanking the dance floor of the legendary Café de Paris, the great and good of the menswear world gathered for the final show of AW13’s London Collections: MEN at 6pm last Wednesday.

The result of an exclusive collaboration between iconic tailoring house Nutters of Savile Row and luxury British knitwear label Peter Werth, the collection drew inspiration from the fun and frivolity of 60s and 70s nightlife – making the 90-year old Café de Paris a particularly apt setting for the show.

With the glamorous ghosts of eras past looking down from the balconies, the show opened with typical Nutters of Savile Row flair, with the first model sent down the runway in roller skates.

As expected, the cut of the tailored garments was superb, with felted wool jackets in rich red and air force blue tones formed to perfection.

Most of the looks were layered with beautifully woven knitwear in a variety of soft tones and classic shades. The pairing of checked tweed-like jackets and fine-gauge knits, along with heavy-soled ankle boots, gave an impression of a country gent come to town.
